title: Gonococcal urethritis with bilateral tysonitis and periurethral abscess.
abstract: A case of gonococcal urethritis with bilateral tysonitis and periurethral abscess is described. The diagnosis of gonococcal urethritis was made by microscopic detection of typical gram-negative intracellular diplococci in cells of the urethral discharge. The patient was treated with oral ampicillin and probenecid for ten days together with oral oxytetracycline for seven days; he responded favorably to antibiotics, and surgical intervention was unnecessary.
